Thanks all for the advice around getting companion pass! Opted for the $149 card since it essentially pays for itself every year ($75 southwest credit and 7500 points annually).

Here's my plan for anyone who might benefit from it:

- Before 2022, spend UNDER $2000 (I'm aiming for $1800 to have a buffer) so that the 50,000 point bonus does not hit in this calendar year.

- In Jan (and before the 3 months from start of account) spend the remaining amount to get to $2000 for the first 50,000 bonus. (Total 50,000 points for 2022 towards 125,000 companion pass)

- SPEND LIKE CRAZY, to get the remaining of the 12k as quickly as possible. Second 50,000 point bonus hits after this. (Total 100,000 points towards 125,000 companion pass)

- In the course of this, in 2022, should accrue at least 10k points from spending point accrual (110,000 points towards 125,000 companion pass)

- for the remaining $15k points needed, either refer someone to the card for 20,000 points, or just migrate more of my spending to this card.

The goal is to get to 125,000 points accrued in 2022, as soon as possible in the calendar year to secure companion pass for the remaining months of 2022 and through all of 2023.

Thanks all, and good luck!
Also offering free canceled flights!
For spending using credit card, you can have minimum federal taxes deducted at your income source/salary etc and pay estimated taxes every quarter using credit card. 1.96% credit card fee is well offset by credit card point value/benefits. I have been doing that since I started cc churning. Just an idea for churners!

I'm confused by the second paragraph, so am i not eligible at all because I currently own a Southwest card? Even if I hadn't had a bonus on my SW cards for more than 3+ years? what if I sign up for a different card
From what I understand, you'd need to cancel your existing card first unless your existing card is a business account.

Just be careful with the 24 month restriction after the bonus is posted, not when you apply. I am planning to do the same as well for my family of 4.
You don't have to worry about the 24 month if you all are of age. You do 2 one year, 2 2 years later, 2 the following 2, etc...

Lmao you seem to have all of the answers. Why did all of the sudden the employees stopped protesting? And why were other airlines not impacted because I'm sure southwest isn't the only airline mandating the vaccine.

Why were no other airlines affected by the "weather"?

Would someone give me an advice whether it would be a good idea to apply for this card after getting the CSP some months ago? For context, I've already gotten the CSP bonus points after meeting their spending requirement. Another 100k points from this Southwest RR sounds awesome, but I feel like I'm going to put myself into a spending trap. Thank you.

I got my companion pass in January 2020 for 2020 and 2021. I then Closed both the personal and business card accounts. Am I eligible to apply now and get on this deal or do I have to wait till Jan 2022?

You can only apply 24 months after the bonus posting dates. Personal after 24 months of personal bonus posting and business after 24 months of business bonus posting.

This Rapid reward card is independent of the CSP card/bonus. Just make sure you are under 5/24

A simple way to spend $12,000 is to prepay estimated IRS taxes using this card. You pay $0.02 per dollar spent or $240. This extra spend of $12,000 gets you 12,000 miles in addition to the bonus which turns into over $160. So you can get the additional 50,000 miles for less than $100.

I thought so. I just cancelled my last existing card yesterday. Is there a waiting period before I apply to one of these cards to qualify for the bonus? Again, i haven't had a southwest rr credit card bonus in 4 years. Maybe just wait as close to Dec 8th just to be safe?

You can go into your Rapid Rewards account activity. It generally shows two years of activity

Just received a rapid rewards statement and it shows both my wife and I have 25,000 points earned toward a companion pass. We haven't flown nor have been cardholders in over two years. Anyone know why we received these points? Thanks
